The candidates concerned have received their invitations. The competition procedure will continue after this session.

You will have noticed that our website now has a revamped look and feel.

The revamp serves 3 purposes:

• You will find the website easier and more logical to navigate, also on a mobile device. 
• We have restructured various pages, so you find information quickly.
• All pages are now swiftly available in the 24 EU languages via a revised language function on top of the page. 

Further improvements will be introduced in the coming months.

We hope you like it!
